Canon EOS R8 Mark II Body Only

Explore creative looks, capture moments before they happen, and create slow or fast-motion cinematic video, all in camera. The EOS R8 Mark II is built so you can capture more, edit less and share wherever you go.

Full-frame Quality in a Sleek, Compact Body

The EOS R8 Mark II pairs a full-frame sensor with a body light enough to carry all day. In-body stabilisation keeps your handheld shots sharp, so you can travel light without trading away image quality.

Autofocus that keeps up with Real Life

Dual Pixel CMOS AF II tracks people, pets and fast-moving action with the same tenacity as Canon's most advanced cameras. Whether your subject is walking towards you or darting across the frame, focus stays where you need it, so you don't miss the shot.

The Features you'll Love in the EOS R8 Mark II

Whether you're chasing golden hour on the road or a fleeting moment on the street, these features are built around how you actually shoot.

Full-frame CMOS Sensor

A 24MP full-frame sensor captures rich detail, natural colours and beautiful bokeh. The larger sensor also delivers cleaner results in low light, which makes it well suited to portraits, travel and everyday photography.

In-body Image Stabilisation

Travelling and on the go? Five-axis in-body stabilisation keeps handheld low-light shots sharp, from a dim laneway at dusk to a candid moment on a moving train. No tripod required.

40 Frames per Second Burst Shooting

Shoot up to 40fps with the electronic shutter and capture the exact moment a scene comes together. A passing glance or a perfectly timed gesture is yours, without missing the shot.

Pre-continuous Shooting

That bird taking flight, or the travel moment that passes before you can react. Pre-continuous shooting records up to 20 frames before you fully press the shutter, so spontaneous moments don't get away.

Register People Priority

Travelling with family or friends? Register their faces and the camera prioritises tracking them, even on a packed street or at a crowded landmark, so the people who matter stay in focus while everything else moves around them.

Creative Filters with More Control

Personalise your photos and video with creative filters, including the new Positive and Negative Filmtone looks. An adjustable intensity slider lets you fine-tune each effect in 10% increments, from a subtle enhancement through to bold expression.

Canon Log 3

Thinking about capturing your next trip on video, not just in photos? Canon Log 3 preserves the flexibility to grade your footage later, so you can start experimenting with professional-looking video on your next journey.

In-camera Look File (LUT) Support

Load your own Look Files onto the camera and preview your look in real time. Apply them to your recordings for finished footage straight out of camera, or use them for preview only and keep full flexibility in post-production.

Slow and Fast Motion

Slow down a wave rolling in, or speed up a bustling street corner. Slow and Fast motion mode gives you independent control over frame rate and playback speed in camera, adding cinematic flair to your clips without separate editing software.
